Scorpion Moth by Mac King and Peter Studebaker

Approach your victim and casually steer
the conversation to poisonous insects. Ask something ominous like,
"Have you heard about the infestation? Those swarms of stinging,
poisonous scorpion moths?" When your friend professes ignorance, say,
"Oh yeah, they're coming in from Utah (name a nearby state). They say
their sting isn't fatal to a healthy adult, but to a baby or the
elderly..." Let your voice trail off as if the consequences are too
dire to even contemplate. When your friend's curiosity reaches its
peak, bring forth the book. Let them get a look at the deadly looking
specimens on the cover. "Take a look, there's a picture in here," you
say as you extend the book toward them. Your attitude is one of
helpfulness. You have important information that they need, and you
want to show them. When the book is pretty close to them, open it and
let the moth fly out at them. Oh baby! Believe me, if you've built this
up good, you'll have to scrape them off the ceiling!
